Question

10 PTS! Level 4 algebra. Please show all work!!! 4 (3x - 5) + 2 (x + 3) = 1

Answer 1

12x-20+2x+6=1

14x=21

x=21/14=3/2

Answer 2

x=15/14;

First, distribute to parenthesis

12x-20+2x+6=1

Next, combine like terms

14x-14=1

Now solve for x

14x-14(+14)=1(+14)

14x(/14)=15(/14)

x=15/14
